    Just a question, how is this for an earlier Jacobite impression? I am wearing knee boots, and I plan to get a better claymore soon.

    I know that the pipe bag is bad, as is the sporran, but it's a good start....I think?

    I can't see from the photo the cut of your waistcoat. Since the white cockade implies the 1745 rebellion, an earlier Elizabethan or "RenFaire" type of waistcoat would be inappropriate. I'd replace the kneeboots with sewn tartan hose (cadadh), and get myself a knitted bonnet (the sewn type with the seam running around the outside edge is modern).

    Other than those issues, you're well on your way...!
